caprice gas tank
not sure how much different it will be from the 64-69. but here it is on my 71,
As you can see, yes it does hand done a bit more that stock. but I have not hit anything with it and it doesn't hang any lower that the exhaust pipes.

bczee, starting my 67 project with caprice tank, did you have to grind some of the frame. i will have 2, maybe an inch on each side or more. wonder if your year has more room from rail to rail. how close are you to the rearend. mike
I had to cut/trim the lower part of the frame about 1/4" for about 9" on each side. The tank just fit in and I wanted some room for tank to move and just in case, not wear a hold in the tank.
For clearance between the tank and rear, the way I have mine mounted, the front of the tank is no more forward that the OEM one. The rear of the tan. is maybe 1" more rearward that the OEM tank.

frame rails are wider for sure on 68 plus chevelle`s. just got done doing my 67 chevelle, I had to trim 3/4 inch on the lower frame on both sides the length of the tank. and a 12 by 12 hole in the trunk. went good. get`in warmer, glad to be out working on the chevelle.she sat a long time waiting for the camaro to get done

Verdad Gallardo I think it has been asked before.. NO was the answer due to the filler neck being on the side and not the rear. (I guess if you want to fab something up..it might work out).

Correct. However, the BBodies up until the body change (box style) all have a metal tank. You could buy a new one, cut off the rear center filler neck and weld in a new one for side provisions. 91-96 are plastic and would not work for you unless you are a fantastic plastic welder.
1bigoldman- you need 40 inch min rail to rail and the tank is 30 inch deep so i would say 35 to 40 deep for rearend and filler neck clearance, are them nova years filler necks out the back or side, if side then no.maybe 90`s caprice wagon used the plastic tank 2. all the plastic tanks have a side port 4 the wagon, good luck, it might be hard to find 1
Widow is correct B-body Wagons had the side fill.
Just an FYI, on my elky, I had a rear fill caprice tank lying around. I removed the metal ring from the top of the caprice tank (it is overmolded on the plastic tank so you can sawzall the tank to remove). Then welded that ring to the top of the elky tank. Modified the caprice fuel sender float and now have a caprice setup in the el camino tank. Has worked great for the past 3 years with regular driving.
